Sorry that I missed yesterday's update all...
Today's pool Report:
Yesterday, my pool actually had a FC residual 24 hours after the last addition of bleach! Granted, it was only .5 ppm, but the entire day was sunny and hot and I only added the socks full of stabilizer two days ago!
CCs this morning were at .5ppm with .5ppm overnight FC loss.
Total bleach used: 134.5 jugs (191 gallons). I'm going to continue counting bleach used until my pool passes the CC < .5 ppm for two days before finalizing the bleach total...
Question regarding the stabilizer: On Tuesday morning I added two socks (one to each skimmer) with 2 lbs of stabilizer in each. (2/3rds the amount recommended by the pool calculator). As of this morning, the socks were pretty close to empty. It's only been 2.5 days but everything I've read here says that it takes about a week for the stuff to dissolve. I'm not showing any CYA (or the level is too low to be measured by the test kit) in my pool yet, but I did have a small residual FC after a day of full sun. My pH hasn't dropped either. I'm assuming that the CYA is now sitting in my filter and will finish disolving in there over the next few days?
